An opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our clinical Coding Team.
Clinical Coding is the translation of medical terminology as written by the clinician to describe a patient's complaint, problem, diagnosis, treatment or reason for seeking medical attention, into a code form which is nationally and internationally recognised. Clinical Coders knowledge and skill enable information to be collected to support the delivery of healthcare, to promote health and support payment systems. Accuracy and attention to detail are essential as is an understanding of anatomy and physiology and medical terminology. You will have excellent communication skills and the ability to work under pressure to meet reporting deadlines. Ideally you will have coding experience or be qualified in the National Clinical Coding Qualification (UK) (NCCQ). If you are an unqualified please note whilst there will be training and support provided, those going through the exam process are expected to undertake extensive self-learning and revision in their own time. A flexible approach to work is essential.

The Clinical Coding Clerk will be expected to liaise with clinical and administrative staff and external groups on coding issues and complexities of the coding process.
